GLUTEN FREE NAAN

🌾 Gluten-Free Naan Bread Recipe (Yeast-Free Option Included)

⭐ Ingredients:

• 1 ½ cups gluten-free all-purpose flour (with xanthan gum)

• ½ cup plain yogurt (Greek or regular)

• ¼ cup milk (or dairy-free alternative)

• 1 tsp baking powder

• ½ tsp baking soda

• ½ tsp salt

• 1 tsp sugar

• 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter (plus more for brushing)

• Optional: minced garlic, chopped cilantro for topping

👩‍🍳 Instructions:

1. Mix the dough
   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and sugar.

2. Add wet ingredients
   Stir in yogurt, milk, and olive oil. Mix until a soft dough forms. If it’s too sticky, add a little more flour. If too dry, add a splash of milk.

3. Rest the dough
   Cover and let the dough rest for 20–30 minutes (this improves texture).

4. Divide and shape
   Divide into 4–6 equal balls. Roll each one into an oval or teardrop shape (¼ inch thick) on a floured surface using more GF flour.

5. Cook the naan
   Heat a skillet (cast iron or nonstick) over medium-high heat. Cook each naan for 2–3 minutes per side until golden spots form and it puffs slightly.

6. Optional garlic butter topping
   Mix melted butter with minced garlic and brush over the hot naan. Sprinkle with chopped cilantro or parsley.

🔁 Optional Yeast Version:

• Replace baking powder/soda with 1 tsp instant yeast

• Add 1 tsp sugar, and let the dough rise for 1 hour

• Proceed with rolling and cooking as above

✅ Tips:

• For dairy-free: Use coconut yogurt & almond/oat milk

• Freeze extras and reheat in a hot skillet or toaster

• Great for naan pizza or wraps too!
